Bp planning HyGreen Teesside project
Bp is planning a new large-scale green hydrogen production facility in Teesside with the potential to deliver up to 500Mwe of hydrogen production by 2030.
To be developed in multiple stages, bp is aiming to start production at HyGreen Teesside by 2025, with an initial phase of some 60MWe of installed hydrogen production capacity. A final investment decision on the project is expected in 2023.
HyGreen Teesside is expected to fuel the development of Teesside into the UK’s first major hydrogen transport hub, leading the way for large-scale decarbonisation of heavy transport, airports, ports and rail in the UK. Bp’s blue and green hydrogen projects in Teesside, along with the proposed Net Zero Teesside power project, is also expected to further support economic development and regeneration in the area.

Louise Jacobsen Plutt, bp’s senior vice president for hydrogen and CCUS, said: “Low carbon hydrogen will be essential in decarbonising hard-to-abate industrial sectors including heavy transport. Together, HyGreen and H2Teesside can help transform Teesside into the UK’s green heart, strengthening its people, communities and businesses. This is exactly the type of energy we want to create and more importantly deliver.”
